Temporal change in gene expression in the quail testis. A and B, LH-driven genes (LHR, StAR). C–E, TH receptors (THRA, THRB) and their dimeric partner (RXRA). F and G, Deiodinase genes (DIO2, DIO3). H–K, Apoptosis-related genes (CASP6, MMP13, TGFB2, TNFAIP2). *, P < .05; **, P < .01 vs trough value; †, P < .05; ‡, P < .01 SL vs SD (t test, n = 4–5). Solid line, SL; dashed line, SD.
